    goodn How to reset to Factory settings after error 1013

    If you have tried updating to the recently released iOS 4.2.1 update on iPhone and encountered Error Code 1013 or Error 1611,then you are a not alone. This has been a common issue across all iOS devices updating to iOS 4.2.1 and Apple Support Discussion forums are full of users complaining about this issue.







    This bug has apparently been reported to Apple but if you don’t fancy waiting for an official fix, you can follow this guide to try and successfully update your iOS device to 4.2.1. Before doing so, you may also like to try and restore using a different computer.

    Warning Note: This will result in your iPhone 4 baseband being upgraded to the latest version.

    How to Fix Code 1013:


    Mac OS:

    Step 1. On your Mac, go to your “Applications” folder.
    Step 2. Now navigate to the “Utilities” folder.
    Step 3. Launch "Terminal".
    Step 4. Type "sudo nano /etc/hosts" (without quotes) and hit return.
    Step 5. Enter your password
    Step 6. Use the down arrow key to find the “gs.apple.com” entries. Once the cursor is in front, make sure you comment out the line(s) by entering “#” in front of the text.
    Step 7. Save the file by pressing CONTROL+O.
    Step 8. Exit the nano editor by pressing CONTROL+X.
    Step 9. Restore your iDevice.

    Step 1. Start –> Programs –> Accessories
    Step 2. Run Notepad or WordPad
    Step 3. Click “Open..” from File menu.
    Step 4. Browse to Windows/System32/drivers/etc
    Step 5. In "files of type:" select all documents
    Step 6. Open "hosts"
    Step 7. Delete all line that has "gs.apple.com" or something like that

    There are 3 types of people in the world - those who make things happen, those who watch things happen; and those who wondered what happened.
